Submersible Pump
A submersible pump is designed to operate with both pump body and motor submerged in the pumping fluid. A hermetically sealed and close-coupled motor allow the pump to be completely submerged.
Advantages: These types of pumps eliminate the need for a dry vault next to a wet well. Submersible pump stations are also less expensive to construct because only a wet pit is needed, and there's no need for above ground construction to house a control center, just a cabinet above the pit.
Disadvantages: Submersible pumps are not readily accessible, therefore they're very difficult to troubleshoot. Typically, the pump fails before a problem is detected.
Mechanical seal or cable failure can lead to moisture in the motor housing.
When selecting a pump for wastewater applications, consider your plant's priorities. Focused on reliability? Choose a pump that allows for regular inspection. Focused on lower cost?
Choose a pump that requires less upfront installation cost. Not sure which one will best help reach your goals? Talk to an engineer who is well versed in wastewater applications.
Dry Pit Submersible Pumps
A hybrid of submersible and dry-pit pumps, the dry-pit submersible runs continuously in dry, or submerged conditions.
Unlike dry-pit pumps, the motor is mounted directly to the pump, eliminating the intermediate shaft. The pump uses sewage or glycol to cool the motor while running.
Advantages: These types of pumps are highly resistant to flooding damage. They also have a compact design (due to the close coupled motor), great for applications where space is limited.
Disadvantages: Mechanical seal failure can lead to moisture in the motor housing. Sewage cooled motors can also experience problems when particles from the sewage settle out and are not properly flushed. This can lead to overheating of the motor.
